Wireless
The Wireless tab is divided in three sections: Basic, Security and Advanced configuration sections.
The Basic section contains all parameters that required to configure in order have working wireless
link. Security section is used to select authentication and encryption settings. Advanced section
contains parameters allowing optimizing the link capacity.
Before changing radio settings manually verify that your settings will comply with local
government regulations. At all times, it is the responsibility of the end-user to ensure that
the installation complies with local radio regulations.
The APC device can operate in four wireless modes: Access Point, Station, Station WDS, iPoll
Access Point and iPoll Station.
Figure 25 – Device Wireless Operating Mode
Depending on the wireless operation mode selection some of the displayed configuration parameters
will differ (e.g. security or advanced wireless settings).
Wireless mode – select wireless operation mode:
Access Point (auto WDS)) – enables the APC radio function as an access point. When in
AP mode, wireless clients can see the AP broadcast and associate to it if settings are configured
correctly.
Station – sets the radio to run in client mode. In this mode wireless station does not
broadcast an SSID and clients cannot connect to it. Station mode allows the APC radio to connect
to other radios functioning as an AP.
Station WDS – a wireless station will communicate with access point in WDS mode.
Station WDS mode enables packet forwarding at layer 2 level.
iPoll Access Point – enables APC radio function as access point for point-to-multipoint
solution. The iPoll Access Point accepts only iPoll Station requests.
iPoll Station – enables APC radio function as wireless station for point-to-multipoint
solution. The iPoll Station can establish a link only with iPoll Access point.
Be sure that both ends of the link have the appropriate wireless mode, otherwise the
connection will be not established (e.g. iPoll Station is able to establish a connection only
with iPoll AP).
Country – displays country in which the APC will operate. The channel list, transmit power limits,
IEEE 802.11 mode will be adjusted according to the regulations of the selected country. Initially the
operating country is chosen on the beginning of unit configuration.
